Bagga Tor.
The original plan for walking from here was to circumnavigate Standon Tor but on a recce it proved rather long and a bit rough going in places. So on to plan two.
Setting off from the car park a short trip up to the top of Bagga Tor for fine views of the surrounding lower land, all the higher ground being in cloud. Through the gate and a steady climb up to Lynch Tor which almost cleared for us. It was then a fairly long tramp through the mist on a one rabbit track to White Barrow. Just as we were getting there a farmer zoomed by on his quad - not sure how you check on stock in thick mist! On along the track to follow the wall which was a picture with the purple heather growing all along the top. The standing stone was still standing when we got there so it was on up through the thurfurs to White Tor ( bit of a misnomer there as all the rocks are black). A slightly sheltered spot was found on top for lunch, now clear of mist. On down through rocks and then dwarf gorse bushes, with talk of long houses and diamond mines over in the rough ground to our right. Finally we arrived at the gate leading down the bridleway to Higher Wapsworthy. Out onto the road for a brief stop to admire the recently renovated Lower Wapsworthy - very smart. A bit of a drag up the road in the now warm sun to the cars. A good alternative walk with varying terrain and varying weather.
